No injuries were reported following a two-vehicle accident June 26.
According to an Osceola Police report, Cindi Ford, Woodburn, was traveling westbound through the intersection of McLane and Main streets in a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado; Ford had a green light. At the same time, a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by an Osceola 17-year-old was intending to turn north onto Main Street from McLane Street.
As the teen turned, Ford ran into the Jeep. This caused damage to the front bumper area of the Chevrolet and the right side doors of the Jeep. The teenager admitted to responding officers that they’d been trying to beat the Chevrolet through the intersection.
Damage is estimated as functional to both, with an estimate of $3,000 in damages to the Chevrolet and $7,000 to the Jeep.
